Peter and All,
I completely agree. I think that this "project" is now outside the
scope of this group and should either split off into its own group or
the author should stop self-promoting. My reading of the group
consensus is that this set of scripts is tolerated not endorsed or
recommended. I have seen multiple posts specifically warning against
practices promulgated by this set of scripts and while there are
nothing wrong with experimenting and requesting feedback from the
group I personally feel a line is crossed when this group is used as
the medium to promote a personal project.
